I am looking for further information on my grandfather Thomas Johnston's family (Galgorm Parks, Co. Antrim, Ahoghill parish) and my grandmother Jeannie (Jean) McClintock's family (Cromkill, Co. Antrim, Connor parish). I found both families in the 1901 and 1911 censuses. My grandfather Thomas Johnston immigrated to Canada in 1920, followed by my grandmother in 1922 with their son Norman. My grandmother's mother's maiden name was Turtle.

Hi,
I am arriving in Ireland on August 19/16 and will be travelling to the Ballymena area for a number of days to research my Johnston/McClintock roots. I would love to connect with someone while I am there.
